    Richard Goldschmidt
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA ''Nobody has ever succeeded in producing a new species, not to mention the higher categories selection of micromutations'' Theoretical Genetics Goldschmidt beleived that if natural selection was real, then new species would arise.

    J.T. Cummings
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "I venture to say that few who have made a special and practical study of evolution, and are well-acquainted with recent progress in that study, have much faith in Natural Selection." British Scientist, Nature Cummings was neutral on the subject, he just states that people who believe in it have faith i it.
  • G. Simpson

    G. Simpson
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "I might be argued that the theory [of Natural Selection] is quite unsubstantiated and has status only as a speculation." The Major Features of Evolution Simpson might have took in the idea of Natural selection and belived but seemed to strugle with it also.

    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "I could never accept this answer. Random shuttling of bricks will never build a castle or a Greek temple, however long the available time." The Evolutionary Paragon and Biological Stability, in Molecular Evolution: Prebiological and Biological Gyrogyi could not take this for the answer, we all just came form one thing and that was it. He wanted to take it farther.

    Science Digest
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "Out of 120,000 fertilized eggs of the green frog only two individuals survived. Are we to conclude that these two frogs out of 120,000 were selected by nature because they were the fittest ones; or rather . . that natural selection is nothing but blind mortality which selects nothing at all." Science Digest debates if it is even real here, is it natural selection of just what happens.

    Sayles B. Clark and J. Albert Mould
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "Many variations are so trivial that they could not possibly aid an organism in its struggle for existence. The theory does not explain how the gradual accumulation of trivial variations could result in the appearance of some of the more complex structures found in higher organisms."
    Biology for Today The Scientist here disagree with the origin of life, how it can't possibly be connected at all.

    T. Dobzhansky
    'Natural selection is differential reproduction, organism perpetuation. In order to have natural selection, you have to have self-reproduction or self-replication and at least two distinct self-replicating units or entities. Prebiological natural selection is a contradiction in terms." Synthesis of Nucleosidase and Polynucleotide with Metaphosphate Esters," in The Origins of Prebiological Systems Dobzhansky gives the argument that it can only accure when you have a A-Sexual species.

    P.S. Moorehead, and M.M. Kaplan, Eds
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "The whole real guts of evolution—which is, how do you come to have horses and tigers, and things—is outside the mathematical theory." Mathematical Challenges to the Neo-Darwin Interpretation of Evolution, The Wistar Institute Symposium Monograph No. 5 These scientist believe that things come from number, it all came from numbers.
  • Harold Blum

    Harold Blum
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA ''In the strictly chemical system, molecules lack the property of self-reproduction—the activated molecule does not perpetuate itself by reproducing its kind, but rapidly returns to a normal level if it does not undergo reaction. Reproduction of stable patterns and stable variants of these patterns is essential for evolution by natural selection'' Time's Arrow and Evolution
    Blum talkes about how things could change but they will change back also.
  • S. Toulmin

    S. Toulmin
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA ''The theory of natural selection is not really an explanation of organic evolution at all—not even a bad one." Science, Philosophy of," in Encyclopedia Britannica Vol. 16 Toulmin said that the explination for evolution is a bad one, it must not make sence to him.
  • Sir Julian Huxley

    Sir Julian Huxley
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA ''So far as we know . . natural selection . . is the only effective agency of evolution." Evolution in Action Huxley says that he thinks that Natural selection is the only thing that makes sence in evolution.

  • D. Rosen

    D. Rosen
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "Although natural selection theory fails to explain the origin of evolutionary novelties, its greatest shortcomings in terms of evolutionary theory is that it fails to explain evolutionary diversity." "Darwin's Demon," in Systematic Zoology 27 Rosen said the evolution was a poor excuse for the reason it is.
  • Stephen Gould

    Stephen Gould
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "How could the existence of a distinct species be justified by a theory [evolution] that proclaimed ceaseless change as the most fundamental fact of nature?"
    Natural History The scientist here second gessed the theory of evolution and how it might be differnt.
  • Niles Eldredge

    Niles Eldredge
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "Natural selection per se does not work to create new species. "The pattern of change in so many examples in the fossil record is far more a reflection of the origin and differential survival (selection extinction) of species than the inexorable accumulation of minute changes within species through the agency of natural selection." Natural History, Vol. 89, No. 7 Eldredge bellieves that Natural selection dose not work with new speices.

    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "Natural selection is irrelevant to, or negligible in context of, macroevolutionary change." Paleobiology at the Crossroads: A Critique of Some Modern Paleogiological Research Programs," in Dimensions of Darwinism Hoffman expresses the irrelevance of Natural selection to life, how they are not related.

    Michael Pitman, Adam and Evolution
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA The Scientist here talk about the studdys of the eye and
    darwins research and how it is a total mystery. "Consider the retina, consisting of 150 million correctly made and positioned specialized cells. These are the rods [to view black and white] and the cones [to view color]. Consider the nature of the light-sensitive retinal. Combined with a protein (opsin), the retinal becomes a chemical switch. Triggered by light, this switch can generate a nerve impulse, and sometimes not, total myserty"

    Ian T. Taylor
    CREATION-EVOLUTION ENCYCLOPEDIA "In the case of artificial selection, man intelligently controls the breeding to produce an improved end result. Under natural conditions, *Darwin appealed to blind chance, which could have no innate intelligence, but there was a dilemma: The theory said that life began as a simple organism and evolved into more complex organisms, which implies an intelligent directing force, but he wanted at all costs to avoid any kind of inference to the supernatural." Ian explaned artifical selection.
